In all cases, intent to kill or harm is irrelevant. In criminal law, the attempted battery type of assault requires a Specific Intent to commit battery. An intent to frighten will not suffice for this form of assault. There can be no assault if the act does not produce a true apprehension of harm in the victim. There must be a reasonable fear of injury.
Cholinergic receptors are found throughout the nervous system. Acetylcholine molecules bind themselves to the receptor molecules on the cells of the receptors. Cholinergenic receptors are sensitive to nicotine. Nicotine stimulates the part of the autonomic system that reacts to stress factors. Cholinergic receptors control certain responses that occur in the prostate.
1 A substance (or ligand) is cholinergic if it is capable of producing, altering, or releasing acetylcholine (indirect-acting) or mimicking its behaviour at one or more of the body's acetylcholine receptor types (direct-acting).2  Such mimics are called parasympathomimetic drugs or cholinomimetic drugs.n general, the word choline refers to the various quaternary ammonium salts containing the N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation. Found in most animal tissues, choline is a primary component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and functions with inositol as a basic constituent of lecithin.
